About

As a new assistant or associate vice president (or other "number two") who reports to the vice president for student affairs (or other highest-ranking student affairs officer) on your campus, you have a very unique and equally challenging position. The NASPA Institute for New AVPs is designed to support your successful transition into the AVP role and will help you to navigate the complex individual and institutional challenges that are inherent in the “number two” position. With the leadership of a faculty team comprised of accomplished AVPs and VPSAs, the Institute’s curriculum focuses on:

  • Competencies required for success in the AVP role
  • Leveraging intersecting personal identities for effective leadership
  • Leading from "the middle" and with a justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion lens
  • Navigating the role under hyper-ambiguous conditions
  • Leading areas and functions that are new to you
  • Supervising and leading diverse, intergenerational teams
About the Institute Model

This exclusive professional development program is an institute. Unlike conferences where participants choose to participate (or not) in concurrent sessions, during this institute, all attendees will participate in the same cohort experience and are expected to engage fully in all aspects of the program including meals. It is a very intensive experience, and the program will run into the evening each day.

All Institute participants must report to the highest-ranking student affairs officer on campus and have substantial responsibility for divisional functions. Join us in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida in January to improve your effectiveness in your challenging role and to expand your AVP peer network!

IMPORTANT NOTE: Institute participants are strongly encouraged to attend also the 2022 NASPA AVP Symposium, which will take place in the same location immediately following the Institute. A registration fee discount of 25% will be offered to institute participants who attend the Symposium. Upon completion of your institute registration, you will receive an email confirmation that contains a discount code for you to apply to your registration for the Symposium.

Institute Faculty

Accomplished AVPs and vice presidents for student affairs from a variety of institutional types will serve as the Institute's faculty.

The Best of Both Worlds: When Bought Sense and Taught Sense Collide

One does not have to personally experience situations in order to learn valuable lessons. Sometimes stories of others can save you time and frustration. In this all-faculty session, faculty invite the participants to learn from the triumphs, challenges, and approaches to the second-in-command role. The session will begin with pre-determined questions while also offering opportunities for participants to engage in problem-posing exercises to everyone’s benefit.

Introduction of Day 2

9:20 AM - 10:30 AM

Well, Now What? Navigating Without a Map and Starting Your Journey

Details

“Here’s the truth you have to wrestle with: the reason that art (writing, engaging, leading, all of it) is valuable is precisely why I can’t tell you how to do it. If there were a map, there’d be no art, because art is the act of navigating without a map.” – Seth Godin
Tap into your tolerance for ambiguity and get comfortable with not knowing exactly where to go and how. We will discuss the power of leading through inquiry and how to turn anxiety of the uncertain into a sense of adventure for exploration and experimentation.

10:30 AM - 10:50 AM

Break

10:50 AM - 11:50 AM

Leading from the Middle: Determining When and How Your Institution Needs You

Details

What is the leadership model in your division? Is it top down, does it practice shared governance, or is it more of a hybrid approach? Or are individual ideas valued or does the committee approach seem more effective?

Organizations are complex and divisions are no different. In this session, we will focus on adapting various leadership styles to support your division/organization, regardless of if you are contextually in a position of power or not.

11:50 AM - 1:05 PM

Institute Luncheon

1:05 PM - 2:15 PM

Return of the JEDI: Leading with Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion

Details

As we emerge from dual pandemics of a public health crisis and Anti-Black racism, leaders are increasingly called upon to embody and promote social justice. What does it mean to bring a social justice lens to the practice of student affairs? How do we turn our personal passions for social justice into professional competencies that inform our leadership practice? Our ability to do so is integral to our mission of “fulfilling the promise of higher education.”

Knowing When to Lead and When to Learn: Being Accountable for Areas While Desiring More Past Experience

Details

When transitioning to the role of AVP or Second in Command, it is common to increase supervisory scope. To that end, it is also common to lack knowledge in one of more areas of the new portfolio. It’s Ok! (...for a little while.)

This session will engage participants in gaining a better understanding of when to direct others and when to let the real experts guide the process.

During this interactive live session, participants will engage with five sitting VPSAs to explore the strategies for cultivating positive and effective relationships to advance divisional priorities, cultivate cross-divisional cooperation, and promote institutional success. Panelists will also share tips for those interested in eventually transitioning to a VPSA role.

Venue

Sawgrass Marriott Golf Resort & Spa
Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida

All Symposium activities will take place at the Sawgrass Marriott Golf Resort & Spa

NASPA has arranged special room rates for Symposium attendees at the Sawgrass Marriott Golf Resort & Spa at $195/night (not including 10.5% state and local taxes). The cut-off date to receive the conference room rate is Tuesday, December 28, 2021. Rooms in the conference block may sell out prior to the cut-off date, so please make your reservation as soon as possible.

Reserving a room within our block by using the hotel's dedicated meeting website or toll-free telephone number not only benefits you; it also helps to support the conference. When you book within our conference block, you help NASPA keep meeting costs as low as possible and enable us to provide some of the important features meeting attendees have come to enjoy, such as networking receptions, exhibit area coffee breaks, and off-site transportation.

We expect that many institute participants will choose to attend also the NASPA AVP Symposium, which will take place in the same location immediately following the institute. The room block linked below is available only for the institute; if you will stay for the symposium, you will need to make a second reservation using the link available on the symposium website. For example, you may make a reservation using the link below for the institute with an arrival date of January 19 and a departure date of January 22. Then, you may make a second reservation for the symposium using the link available on the symposium website with an arrival date of January 22 and a departure date of January 24. The hotel will keep you in the same room, but two reservations are necessary because the room blocks are distinct.
